The tour will commence in Johannesburg, where the first Test is scheduled to begin on 15 November. The second Test will take place in Centurion from 23 November. This tour will be especially notable as Bangladesh return to play a Test in Centurion for the first time in 18 years.

Following the red-ball fixtures, the white-ball series will kick off with three ODIs. The matches are scheduled from 1 to 7 December in East London, Gqeberha, and Cape Town. Immediately afterwards, Bangladesh will contest three T20Is between 10 and 13 December, taking place in Kimberley, Benoni, and Centurion.

The announcement of Bangladesh’s tour comes as South Africa continue to show formidable form in the ongoing T20 World Cup. The Proteas recently secured an impressive 76-run victory over defending champions India in the Super 8 stage, underscoring their strength ahead of the home season.

According to the schedule released on Monday, following the conclusion of Bangladesh’s tour, South Africa will host England for a three-match Test series, followed by a three-match ODI series, which will conclude the domestic summer calendar.
